Hey Hey Hey - Michael Franti & Spearhead
It's been a long time coming
That I had to say
When I wake up in the morning
All I do is pray
For some guidance and protection
On the streets today
And an answer to the questions
I ask everyday
So tell me why do the birds
That used to fly here
Tell me why do
They come to die here
And all the kids
That used to run here
Tell me why do
They load their guns here
I remember in the days when
We were one heart
No need to defend
I just wrap my arms around you
Don't give up
This song is for you
Hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I say hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I hold on
I'm trying to hold on
I hold on hold on hold on
From the tops of the buildings
To the streets below
Between the Wall Street banks
And the empty homes
Between the lines of the people
Standing all in a row
There's a crack in the gutter
Where a flower grows
Reminding me that everything is possible
Yeah reminding me
That nothing is impossible
You gotta live for the one
That you love you know
You gotta love for the life
That you live you know
Singing hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I'll sing hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I hold on I'm trying to hold on
I hold on I'm trying to hold on
Until the morning comes again
I will remain with you my friend
And we will ride until the sun
Goes to the place where it begun
And we will live to laugh
And cry another day
Don't let nobody ever tell you
That it couldn't be done
Don't let nobody ever tell you
That we couldn't be one
Don't let nobody ever tell you
That it shouldn't be sung
Don't let nobody ever tell you
You're the only one
Singing hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I say hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I hold on I hold on
I'm just trying to hold on
Trying to hold on
Trying to hold on
I say hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I say hey hey hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing
That I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away
I hold on
I'm trying to hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
